THE PRESIDENCY: Georgia Pique

In Warm Springs, Ga. a reporter asked Franklin Roosevelt whether the
report of his three-man railroad committee was on the way. The
President asked whether he was supposed to be a clairvoyant. Another
questioner asked whether he was pleased by Southern reaction to his
Gainesville speech. To this the President, who likes to
call Georgia his adopted State, made a reply that only an adopted
Georgian would have given: that the only Southerner with whom he
had talked was Irvin McDuffie, his Negro valet.
